9、 automatic routing (自動轉(zhuǎn)接) to emergency help numbers if their urges to selfharm continue. Experts welcomed the trend but warned that online help must complement, not replace, facetoface appointments with therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. “Most young people spend much of their time online

11、 look after their own mental health, develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions, and get accessible information and advice when they need it.” Claire Murdoch, NHS Englands national mental health director, said：“Technology is constantly evolving and young people are usually at the forefro

Mean

13、while, 37% of the young people referred to NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) in England last year were refused help, the childrens commissioner has revealed. In an analysis of Camhs care published on Thursday, the childrens commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, says that d

A．instant, confidential and controllable B．a(chǎn)ttractive, convenient and symbolic C．eff

16、ective, accessible and controversial D．considerate, authentic and impractical 解析：選A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)信息詞Online help可以定位到第三段“fast，personal”與A選項(xiàng)中的“instant，confidential”對應(yīng)。第八段的“in control”對應(yīng)controllable。 2．Teenagers suffer from mental problems mainly because ________. A．they lack professional guidance B．t

17、hey tend to be more selfcentred C．social media make them feel less confident D．social media keep them distant from each other 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 由第四段“showing how common mental health problems are in the young mainly as a result of the emergence of social media and its use in fuelling feelings of inadeq

A．keep a journal of their moods B．manage their feelings of stress C．reduce the urge to harm themselves D．improve their selfidentity and confidence 解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第十段、第十一段的內(nèi)容，特別是“Users tell us that C

A．strengthen bonds between teenagers with mental illnesses B．play a role in p

20、ushing forward the cuttingedge advance C．replace facetoface appointments with professionals D．serve as a complement to facetoface appointments 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第十二段“online help must complement, not replace, facetoface appointments with therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists” 可知，在線幫助可以作為面對面的咨詢的補(bǔ)

24、ptions, performances are dull and lack vitality ... After years of trying to convince myself otherwise, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.” — Jennifer Homans, Apollos Angels. Is ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homanss conclusion to her fascinating history of balle

25、t, Apollos Angels, is worrying. It appears that ballets pulse continues to beat strongly, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached.So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point? “Ballet is dead” — “Ballet is dying” — all ring tones o

26、f Friedrich Nietzsches philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbing, certainly.Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey.__①__ To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular moder

27、n classics like Twyla Tharps In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together.Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphys Swan Lake，which layers elements of Petipas choreography (編舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic.Many

28、contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate (操縱) the rules.__②__ The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague.In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Matthew Bourne acknowledges that this “crossfertilisation” between con

29、temporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet.Referring to Homanss book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming closer together”．Not dying, but m

30、erging.Reinventing.This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now.__③__ Homans writes that ballets decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine.Something has changed, certainly.A stylistic transition — from neoclassical to contemporary ballet — has occur

31、red.__④__ Our art forms evolution has always been with extinction.Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries，” and yet, “phoenixlike, rose again from its ashes”．History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated

32、 and lacked popularity.This coincided with the art forms changing forums. So here is the irony: what sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipas classics.A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk.And without Nutcracker (《胡桃夾子》), half the ballet companies in North America would no

33、t exist.Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles — Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo — were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets)．A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories

34、 of past greats.Classical ballets framework supports the modern process of benchmarking. Perhaps Jennifer Homanss thoughts are not completely unfounded.Perhaps ballet is dying for some.Ballets evolution has been delayed by its audiences.And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its cr

Now here is a bold prediction.In line with the Royal Ballets programming in Brisbane this year — of Christopher Wheeldons The Winters Tale, and Wayne MacGregors Woolf Works — over the next 20 years, ballets reliance on Petipa will decrease.Contemporary ballets and mergestyled ballets will

36、produce their boxoffice influence ever more. Why? It is simple: our audiences will be ready for ballet to change again. 語篇解讀：本文主要是討論了芭蕾舞到底是消亡了，還是在進(jìn)一步的發(fā)展的問題。 7．Why does the writer cite Jennifer Homanss words at the beginning of the passage? A．To support the writers viewpoint. B．To introduce the

37、 topic of the passage. C．To highlight the theme of the passage. D．To provide the background knowledge. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。文章在開頭引用Jennifer認(rèn)為芭蕾在衰落，是希望引出本文探討的芭蕾興衰的話題，起到引入話題的作用。 8．The sentence “Is this not ballet？” should be put in ________. A．①　　　　　　　 B．② C．③ D．④ 解析：選B　推理判斷題。由插入的句子“Is this not ballet”

38、可知，前文應(yīng)當(dāng)是提到一種舞蹈，而第2處前講的就是現(xiàn)在當(dāng)代編舞者都運(yùn)用一定的規(guī)則將古典融入現(xiàn)代舞蹈中。 9．Which of the following statements is a fact about ballet? A．“Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey.” (Para.3) B．“The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague.” (Para.5) C．“Our art forms evolution has always

39、been with extinction.” (Para.7) D．“What sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipas classics.” (Para.8) 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。在第八段作者通過種種客觀事實(shí)舉例論證了，人們?nèi)匀黄珢劢?jīng)典。其余選項(xiàng)雖然是文中所提到的，但都是人們抽象的主觀推測，并不是客觀的確鑿事實(shí)。 10．According to Matthew Bourne, ________. A．the dance forms remain unchanged B．contemporary dance has reinv

40、ented classic ballet C．ballet is experiencing growth and will continue to develop D．a(chǎn) new form of ballet is widely accepted among Australians 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第二句“British choreographer Matthew Bourne acknowledges that this ‘crossfertilisation’ between contemporary dance and ballet continues to gr

41、ow, ... ”可知，馬修伯恩認(rèn)為當(dāng)代舞蹈和芭蕾舞之間的“交叉融合”在繼續(xù)發(fā)展。所以芭蕾舞正在經(jīng)歷一個新的發(fā)展階段，將來還會繼續(xù)發(fā)展。 11．The writer takes himself as an example in Paragraph 8 in order to show ________. A．classics should be promoted B．classics are still of great significance C．classical ballets framework is out of date D．contemporary ballets a

42、ttract more audiences 解析：選B　推理判斷題。第八段中作者說，作為一名舞蹈演員，他最喜歡的角色是阿爾布雷特、齊格弗里德王子和羅密歐，他們來自古典正典。對他來說，古典劇目背后的魅力之一就是再現(xiàn)過去那些偉大人物的輝煌。古典芭蕾舞的框架支持現(xiàn)代的基準(zhǔn)制作過程。所以作者描述自己的個人體會是為了說明古典舞蹈仍然是很重要的。 12．What may be the audiences attitude to the change of ballet? A．Supportive. B．Arbitrary. C．Critical. D．Concerned. 解析：選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段的內(nèi)容，特別是最后一句“Contemporary ballets and mergestyled ballets will produce their boxoffice influence ever more.” 可知，現(xiàn)代芭蕾舞和合并風(fēng)格的芭蕾舞將對他們的票房影響力越來越大。所以作者對于芭蕾舞與現(xiàn)代舞蹈的融合持積極的態(tài)度，是支持的。Supportive“支持的，擁護(hù)的”； Arbitrary“隨意的，任性的”； Critical“關(guān)鍵的；批評的”；Concerned“擔(dān)憂的”。 7
